Show us your vintage home!

The family homestead

My parents raised 9 kids in this house and we raised two here ourselves. Original part of the house was built in 1895

 

[PS]

sedaterman, NE Ohio, huh? May I ask what neighborhood, that house looks really familiar.

You remind me of Russel Crow as Jim Braddock in Cinderella Man

Noticed a thread recently about the lack of a thread like this on the FL, so I thought I'd step out of my newbie shoes and start a real one. If you've got pics to share of your vintage house/apartment/condo/other living space, show them off here!

I'll start off with my loft in downtown Fort Worth. I've got some vintagey decor, but a lot of it comes from the loft itself - on the fourth floor of a 1929 office building.

My fiance and I LOVE that building. Applause to you for living there... We ooh and ahh every time we pass it. Can't wait to get out of school and move 20 minutes over into Fort Worth.

Heres one shot of our front room. What you cant see is the tropical beach mural and the sky blue and red 50's 3 piece suite.

I love this room!

Some photos of mine and my boyfriend's place.

Living room.

50s String shelves.

The dining area. The walls here have since been painted turquoise. It's open plan so this is sort of the same room as the living room.

I am new to your forum and just lurking about. I love everything old and historic! Here is my money pit, a circa-1918 Dutch Colonial:

You have a very nice home airgrabber. Great color scheme.

You have a very nice home airgrabber. Nice color scheme. We have a few Dutch colonials in my neighborhood.

I finally found a nice old sink I can use to rebuild my modern kitchen into a 1930's kitchen.

In love with your project.

missjoeri, That sink is great. Your additional pictures on flickr.com really show how much in love you are with your home. Bravo on a wonderful job. Your vintage collection is beautiful. I'm absolutely in love with your sofa. It is a gem.

Best regards,
Jim

My favorite corner in my livingroom... taken last night when the lighting is just right.

It's all vintage but the sofa. The bulb in the lamp... yeah, OLD! 1920's Edison pride to be exact! lol

 

[MaryDeluxe]

About time people!

I'm so happy to see my favorite thread active again!
I've just finished a glass of wine so, I feel like commenting!lol

Forgotten Man...I'll start with you so I don't forget you I love that corner of your room...very cozy and as a BIG fan of lamps...I love yours! Okay but I must admit, the glowing heater makes me a little worried! lol

missjoeri...I applaud you for putting your kitchen back to the original way it was!:eusa_clap It's refreshing to see someone like you.

airgrabber666...nice money pit...I really like seeing the blooming geraniums in your window boxes on a snowy day. lol
The house color is great!

Johanna...love your sofa and chair! Cute place.

sedaterman...AMAZING!

Okay I'm done now! I need another glass of wine...

Thank you Mary, I'm goin' to post more photos soon of the living room.

Ah, I knew the heater would concern some people... now, the trick to a safe vintage heater is the cord and plug; if the plug stays cool wile plugged in, it's safe to use. I'm starting a vintage heater thread over in Golden Era... I'm goin' to give tips and info on use of them and what to buy and what not to buy. Here's a link: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?p=533308#post533308



Everyone has some amazing places! Ranging from the 30's to the 60's... it's nice to see people getting into the eras they enjoy.

Let's see more!

Just took a look at your Flicker pix - what a fabulous job of decorating you've done! Amsterdam School is my absolute favorite design aesthetic.

Here are some photos of our one-room apartment in Amsterdam where my wife and I lived until we moved to Canada last year. Before we moved to A'dam we had been renting it for 3 or 4 years - here's what it looked like before the tenant moved out:

And this is what I did to it:

Pretty much all 30s-40s Dutch except for the Amsterdam School chandelier which is 1920s and the chimney decoration which is my homage to Hague School design.

We rented it to a friend when we moved to Canada. We'll probably sell it and find something a bit bigger when we eventually return to A'dam.
